Blighty is a 1927 British World War I silent drama film directed by Adrian Brunel and starring Ellaline Terriss, Lillian Hall-Davis and Jameson Thomas. The film was a Gainsborough Pictures production with screenplay by Eliot Stannard from a story by Ivor Montagu.
Michael Balcon wrote "Though the story was simple, it touched on patterns of behaviour at the time: the attitude to the war, the realisation that the outbreak of the First World War was the end of an era, and more, perhaps most, important, it suggested the breaking down of class barriers, a process which has been continued very slowly from that time".
